Four friends, Salvatore (Salvatore Sansone), Annamaria (Stefania Troise), Alfonso (Alfonso Postiglione) and Riccardo (Riccardo Zinna), are forty year-olds from a middle-class background; they are all originally from Naples but their jobs require them to live elsewhere. They return to their native city for the funeral of their closet friend, Antonio. After the wake, they decide to have dinner together. Talking about their lives, they share their memories. Taking stock of each other’s lives, lasts throughout the night. A taxi driver, Raffaele (Nino D’Angelo), who drives them around for the rest of the night acts as a sort of Neapolitan Charon: he takes these lost souls through the maze of the city, and, as the humble man he is, teaches them something about life.
